This paper examines the role of women in protecting and preserving the cultural heritage of the African continent which is an important ingredient for national development. It traces the indispensable role of the women to the creation of mankind at the Garden of Eden. However, despite the much desired role and contribution of the women to the development of the African nation, the imposition of colonialism in Africa laid the groundwork for the marginalization of the women folk, which eventually created gender inequality that weakened the contribution of the women. Nevertheless, African women have not given up the struggle.Women continue to play a leading role in preserving the farming tradition which is the main occupation in Africa.
